Derek Rowntree 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》1995,26(3):205-215

In this paper, the author reflects on his first experience of tutoring on an online course. He compares online courses with their classroom and distance learning equivalents, from the point of view of both tutors and learners. This leads to a consideration of the multiple roles of the online tutor and how they can be acquired. The paper ends with an appraisal of some of the risks and drawbacks of online courses.  相似文献   

Reading readiness is alive and well     

John Downing  Derek Thackray 《Literacy》1982,16(1):5-10

The end of the 1970s and the early 1980s have seen an increasing distaste for the concept of ‘reading readiness’. Some educators have expressed impatience with the confusion, ambiguity and misrepresentation that have come to be associated with this term. They sometimes suggest that teachers should abolish or abandon reading readiness altogether, but we believe that there is a danger that children may suffer if this concept is ignored by teachers.  相似文献   

‘I can write my name,I can’: The importance of the writing of own name     

Derek Holford 《Education 3-13》2013,41(1):38-42

Young children demonstrate an interest in the writing of their own name. Very often it is the first word written by the child. The importance of that writing and the learning about letters, sequencing and space is explored. A number of activities that support children in their recognition and writing of own name are noted. Those activities include many which were observed during visits to early years settings.  相似文献   

Motor-skills in Language*     

Derek van Abbé 《Educational Media International》2013,50(4):20-28

Languages are systems of communication based on disturbances of the air which are caused by physiological operations in one person—the speaker—and apprehended by means of physiological operation in a second person—the listener. Everything about this happening is observable and measureable, and can be repeated mechanically or in experiment.  相似文献

Mwalimu Julius Nyerere: a critical review of his contributions to adult education and postcolonialism     

Derek C. Mulenga 《International Journal of Lifelong Education》2013,32(6):446-470

Despite being one of Africa's greatest postcolonial thinkers, implementing an award winning national literacy campaign and writing extensively on adult education and development, the contributions of Julius Kambarage Nyerere remain relatively unknown within mainstream adult education. This paper critically examines the contributions of Nyerere to adult education and postcolonial theory. The paper makes two assumptions. First, it assumes that there is a relationship between the discourses of postcolonialism and the project of constructing a more inclusive knowledge base of adult education. Second, that postcolonial theory provides a relevant framework for understanding the politics of adult education and development. Through a comprehensive and critical textual analysis of Nyerere's major works on adult education and development, the paper concludes that Nyerere's philosophy of adult education and lifelong learning was very progressive if not radical. Nyerere's ideas on education for liberation and development resonate with those of Paulo Freire. By linking the principles of education for liberation to the goal of building an egalitarian, socialist society based on the philosophy of Ujamaa, Nyerere provided an innovative and yet ‘localized’ theory of social change. Finally, Nyerere provided a sustained critique of colonialism and racism, and was a committed advocate of equality, unity and economic and social justice for the postcolonial world.  相似文献
